All Things Home and Family
It's really quiet, except for my music. Elv is sleeping in his chair. I borrowed a popcorn popper from Francis. I keep borrowing things because it's hard to remember what I would have needed in the travel trailer. We're parked in the woods of tall pine trees. The sun shines through in yellow patches. This… Continue reading Saturday Evening
It's been great staying at Mom and Dad's for our first week in the West. It's great to have our own place to live now, too. Joshes well-lived-in travel trailer needed some TLC which we have been providing. There are still bits to complete. The view from the table is quite satisfactory, don't you think?… Continue reading A Place of Our Own
We took a walk this morning before church in the frosty fields. I spotted these miniature beauties covering the ground here by Mom's house. Maybe you all have noticed and examined these amazing flowers many times already, but somehow I doubt it. Here's a small crocus to compare with which was hardly noticeable trying to… Continue reading First Spring Wild Flowers
Wow, it's been a week. Mom entertained us with vocabulary quizzes for awhile this evening. After that dad brought out the Rumicube game to play. I give you all goodnight and have a happy Sunday tomorrow.
We're headed up the mountain this evening to see if we can find Francis's trail cam that someone has apparently relocated. We had pizza at the shop at the end of a busy day of working on the Mountaineer. We just dropped everything and ran. This little hen lives at Josh's. She and a few… Continue reading Idaho Days
We climbed up over the hill and reached Bonners Ferry by the early afternoon. Elv drove the whole way. All 1400 miles. Glacier Park is glorious in beauty and measure. Arriving at Mom and Dad's and having the two of them to ourselves for a couple hours was just right. And then hugging our little… Continue reading Day Three
Along Rt 2 also known as the Great Northern Road Trip. Here's an article. We traveled most of the way through the plains part of it today. We started the day watching the sky. Apparently we drove under the fly way. Huge flocks of geese. This guy seemed to be out wandering around. He had… Continue reading Day Two
Of traveling west to Idaho. Northern Minnesota is old, somehow. Old barns, silos, low sheds with faded tin, and trailer houses. Someone thought it was a good idea to pull in a trailer house beside the old farmhouse and move over. Now the old house stands straight and true, admittedly windowless, but the mobile home… Continue reading First Day
And not vicariously, through Instagram or the likes of that imposter of one's own zest and very wits. The lowliest room at our house has a cactus blooming in the window sill for the second time since last late fall. I'm far more gratified with this than if I saw someone else's whole conservatory on… Continue reading Living a Beautiful Life
When we got up up this morning the temps were dropping. At fifteen below by seven. Then the sun was coming up so it got a little warmer throughout the day. The next two days will be bitterly cold. All that to say that we have been keeping the stove fires going all day and… Continue reading February Inspiration
